Get set up with cloud licenses: Key considerations

July 31, 2025

Streamline your ArchiCAD workflow by transitioning from perpetual licenses to flexible cloud-based licensing for enhanced collaboration.

License Conversion: Key Considerations

ArchiCAD Cloud Licenses are compatible with ArchiCAD 26 Update 5 and later ArchiCAD versions.

As part of the conversion program, existing perpetual licenses are updated to ‘Compatibility Licenses’ to access ArchiCAD versions 25 and below, and Cloud Licenses can be used to access versions 26 and above.

If using ArchiCAD 26, please ensure the program is fully up to date to allow cloud license connection.

Assign Cloud Licenses to Graphisoft ID Users:

Cloud licenses are assigned directly to users’ Graphisoft IDs and can be accessed easily by logging into ArchiCAD as an assigned user.
